what women hold

What Women Hold is a collaborative exhibition of work by artists of The Art Bus and Catherine House. This mixed-media exhibition showcases work that is personal and insightful, it is both raw and at times playful. Audiences are invited to engage with powerful true stories of women’s complex experiences of homelessness. This exhibition celebrates what women hold to feel safe, to thrive, and to be celebrated.

What Women Hold is proudly supported by The Government of South Australia, through its Adult Community Education training projects and a Community Impact Strategic Partnership with the City of Adelaide.

Through a recovery, strength-based focus, women are offered a safe, supportive environment with opportunities to achieve improved personal and economic well-being. Catherine House partnered with The Art Bus to offer women creative opportunities.
